To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will propose a resolution of the United Nations Security Council following the referral to that body by the International Criminal Court of the finding of non-compliance by the government of Libya in respect of failure to surrender Saif al-Islam Gaddafi to the Court...
On 10 December the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber dealing with Saif Qadhafi’s case issued a decision, which found that Libya had failed to comply with the Court’s request to surrender Qadhafi. It decided to refer Libya’s non-compliance to the United Nations Security Council. The United Kingdom fully supports the ICC’s decision and urges Libya to surrender Qadhafi to the Court. We will work within the Security Council for an effective response to the ICC.

Prior to the start of General Purpose Force training on 11 June 2014, the UK had several discussions with the Libyan government about the selection and vetting of the Libyan trainees. These conversations also included representations from the United States and Italy.
The Libyan government provided trainee candidates who had been through Libyan vetting and selection processes. These candidates were then subject to additional UK vetting in Libya, to ensure that those selected met Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Defence and Home Office requirements on security, immigration, medical, physical, literacy and numeracy criteria; in addition, the selected cohort comprised a suitable geographic representation of Libya. Home Office visa processes included checks against UK criminal databases and a visa declaration by all trainees which confirmed that they held no criminal convictions or charges in the UK or elsewhere.
We are not aware that any of those candidates who passed UK screening had criminal convictions or faced charges at that time in the UK or elsewhere.
During the course of training the Libyan General Purpose Force (GPF) we are aware of sixteen individuals being arrested. Of these five have been remanded in custody while facing the following criminal charges:
Three counts of sexual assault, one count of theft of a pedal cycle and one count of exposure.
Three counts of sexual assault and one count of theft of a pedal cycle.
Two counts of sexual assault, one count of theft of a pedal cycle and one count of using threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour to cause harassment/alarm/distress against a police officer.

One count of rape.
All other trainees at Bassingbourn have been returned to Libya.
A team has been set up to produce for the Defence Secretary before Christmas an objective report into the GPF training. It is led by a MOD senior civil servant who was not involved in the original work, supported by a senior civil servant loaned from another Government Department to provide an additional element of independence and challenge.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what role her Department had in formulating the walking out policy covering Libyan recruits being trained at Bassingbourn barracks; and what role (a) her Department and (b) the police had in monitoring that policy.
As an incentive to promote good behaviour and thereby improve the effectiveness of the training programme the Army proposed to allow the trainees some very limited unsupervised access to the local amenities. These proposals were discussed across Government (including the Home Office) prior to implementation.
The Home Office requested that the Army liaise closely with Cambridgeshire Police on the monitoring of such visits.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the cost to the United Kingdom of the military intervention in Libya; and what is their assessment of the benefits to the United Kingdom.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the cost to the United Kingdom of the military intervention in Libya; and what is their assessment of the benefits to the United Kingdom.
The net additional cost of military operations in Libya in 2011 was £234 million.
Our military actions in Libya protected civilians under threat of attack and saved lives. All our actions were consistent with our obligations under international law and with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, which allowed all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack.

Access to personal information is governed by the Data Protection Act. Information relating to whether an individual has claimed asylum is considered to be sensitive personal information, and as such, requires special protection.
In this case the number of individuals who fall within the scope of the request is so low that it would be reasonable to conclude that they could be identified, therefore precluding the provision of information on whether any of
them has claimed asylum.

Of the Libyan service personnel who were in receipt of military training earlier this year, fewer than 10 remain in the UK.
As the number of individuals is so few, consistent with our obligations under the Data Protection Act, it would be inappropriate to release further details.
